Happy Monday my prosperous beings of growth! Welcome to the best week of the rest of your life! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to being comfortably uncomfortable! I once heard that life is like a mother giving birth…. She is very uncomfortable but through that painful experience she brings forth the greatest accomplishment — the birth of a human being. It’s the same with your life. If you step outside of your Comfort Zone you will give birth to great new abilities in yourself! Understand this concept and you will begin to understand the key to success and happiness! No one ever said it would be easy but in order for it to be worthwhile you must be willing to give up your comfort zone in order to get what you want out of life! Imagine living on an island with chaos, death, and famine. Now imagine that the only way to get to a disease free and safer island is to swim across a shark infested water… The swim isn’t that long and if you are strategic enough, you can do it without getting hurt! What do you do? Unfortunately a lot of people would rather take their chances in the chaos and famine than to chance being free! Don’t be one of those people! Take calculated risk but be comfortable being uncomfortable! Your best life lives on the other side of your comfort zone!

“My new favorite word is ‘awkward.’…The reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn’t be worth the effort.”-Seth Godin
